Common Questions and Answers about Arm pain neck injury

neck

Avatar n tn Hi, I think your symptoms may be due to nerve irritation in the cervical (neck) spine because of cervical disc bulge. This pain may be referred and perceived as occurring in the back of head & shoulders (as it blades)- LHERMITTES SIGN, arms or chest, rather than just the neck. Other symptoms may include vertigo, nausea (dizziness) and stiffness. It will be best that you consult a neurologist who would like to prescribe Pain killers, steroid and muscle relaxants.
Avatar m tn i am having pain on my back neck leading towards to my right arm for last 3 days,
Avatar f tn m just another person like you dealing with pain in me left arm, shoulder and neck. It is a sharp piercing pain that goes all the way up to the shoulder and neck. I have been checked all over, MRI, MRA, spinal tap, EEG, EKG and other test too numerous to mention. My left arm is very weak and if I try to use it, the pain is excruciating. I can't sleep on it and it wakes me in my sleep. My neurologist latest diagnosis is it is all in my head. Depression. Get over it.
Avatar m tn Hi Joseph, I am sorry you are having so much pain in your arm. Pain can be so life altering and you are so young to have such horrid pain. An MRI most certainly will diagnosis a tendon or a ligament injury. I am at a loss as to what could have happened when your friend fell on your arm. It sounds like your physicians have performed all the diagnostic procedures that should have revealed an injury to your arm. Trauma to an arm will normally result in with a sprain, strain or fracture.
Avatar f tn t satnd as well as she said he could and two hundred pounds of dead weight riped down on my left shoulder. Sence this has happened i have had very bad pain in my shoulder, neck arm and back, i can't move my arm at all without tears my neck i can't even turn it. And i have very bad numbness in hand to the point where it's hard to hold on to things. Also i have been getting bad head aces. I don't know what to do the work comp Dr.
Avatar n tn The pain sensation can be due to actual injury, tissue damage or noxious stimulation of nerve fibers. Arm pain may be caused by injury or overuse of the arm or components of the arm. In this case, once the problem is treated, the pain will resolve. It can also be the result of referred pain from another part of the body. If pain is caused by an activity, modify or stop the activity. Diabetic neuropathies result from diabetic microvascular injury involving peripheral nerves to the arm or foot.
Avatar n tn On the one hand, I am concerned about possibly being so lucky as to now have lymphoma, and on the other hand perhaps these concerns are unrelated and my arm pain is related to an injury from last summer when I pulled myself up out of the water and into our boat.
Avatar m tn I am 37. I have been having neck pain and other problems for a while with progression. Have 3 thyroid nodules. Just had neck mri that showed 3 bulging discs, also says I have left formainal stenosis at C5 and C6? Encroachment on spinal cord? Also a 1.5cm hemangioma at c2. I just started trigger point injections. It gets harder everyday to turn my neck and cannot sleep. Feel like my neck and shoulders are always "tense". The pain and headaches are horrible.
Avatar f tn If you have posted truthfully, the liklihood is that you have what is called a subluxion injury, commonly known as "whiplash". The injury is common whenever the neck is quickly flexed. It is indeed due to compression of the nerves in the cervical area. It is definitely not cardiac-related.
Avatar f tn What you have is probably Scalene Myofascial Pain Syndrome. When scalene muscle is the cause of pain, the pain is referred from neck to (either all or a combination of) chest, inner lining of scapula (shoulder bone), shoulder, posterior and lateral sides of the arm right up to the thumb and index finger.
Avatar f tn Over the course of 4 or 5 days my pain reached unbearable levels. I had burning in my neck, severe upper back, chest and arm pain, with a lot electric type shocking pain. Yes, I had cord compression at 3 levels prior to surgery, fortunately it was minimal.
424634 tn?1277857528 12 years ago, I had fusion of C5-6-7. C4 was bulging back then, but wasn't too bad. For the past 10 years, I've been having right arm pain off and on. I was told is was trigger point pain from a point between my shoulder blade and my armpit. Occasionally, now, for the past few months, I get similar pain in my left arm. I've had lower back pain for the past year and a half or so. I've had an MRI of my lumbar region, and there is some bulging and a small tear in the disk.
1732414 tn?1419736738 Arm pain may be due to an injury, and also can be referred pain from degeneration in the cervical area (your neck). Ideally you do need to see a doctor about this and get help from a physiotherapist. Having a massage in the shoulder blade area may help to relieve any tension. A physiotherapist would be able to determine if your problem is coming form your neck. Try applying heat or a cold pack to see which one helps you.
Avatar f tn For example, some people will have a neck injury but feel the pain in their wrist or hand. Referred pain is very common with many injuries. To find your ulnar nerve, hold out your arm with your palm facing up. On the inside area just below the elbow bending point is where your ulnar nerve is. You can irritate or injury this nerve but feel the pain in you wrist, hand, or other parts of the arm. Let me know if you need further explanation...Take care.
Avatar m tn injury which it turns out was a neck injury. Most of my pain started in the top shoulder and the muscle going from the shoulder to the side of the neck. Shortly after that the pain went to my armpit and the back of my shoulder. Now I have pain/burning/tingling down my arm and into my hand, my arm often feels like it's dangling by a string and I have pretty bad neck pain as well. An MRI showed I have some bulged discs in my neck.
Avatar f tn Just wanted to say, I have been having the exact problem. Some neck pain and arm pain. I have problems finding a comfortable sleeping position....arm hurts up or down. I took 800 mgs. of Ibuprofen and that helped a bit. Have you found out anything helpful? Thanks!
Avatar m tn A rotator cuff injury is an injury to one or more of the four muscles in the shoulder. Your pain could also be from a labral tear or a disruption of the acromioclavicular joint referred to as an AC separation (not dislocation), it's possible your pain could be related to the bursae in your shoulder join, it could be a severe muscle stain though less likely with the grinding pain you describe........and the list continues.
Avatar f tn You need a MRI of the neck because you have numbness in one arm, and neck stiffness and pain. There may be a compression on your spinal nerves due to spinal injury. The arm numbness can also be due to muscle injury or due to a nerve injury. Also though it may just be a bruise and contusion, your forehead injury needs to be evaluated further. Take care!
Avatar f tn My symptoms are very bad headachs, tingling, pain and coldness in arm, shoulderblade pain, upper back pain, numbness and pain in thumb, blurred vision when I have the heardachs, and loss of stregth in the arm. I am worried about perminante damage of the nerves what else might I expect?
Avatar f tn Most likely, your arm numbness symptoms may be due to nerve irritation in the cervical (neck) spine or arm because of injury where contact between the edges of the vertebrae can cause nerve pain and subsequently arm numbness. In few people, this pain may be referred and perceived as occurring in the back of head, shoulders, arms or chest, rather than just the neck. Other symptoms may include vertigo, nausea (dizziness) and stiffness can be intermittent.
Avatar f tn Lately she has been complaining of pain that runs down the arm to the tip of fingers and even up to back of neck and head. Pain sometimes goes to the other arm too. Should I take a to a neurologist and what x-ray do you suggest?
Avatar m tn Now 3 days have passed, every time I move my right arm, I feel pain, sometimes on my fingers, sometimes on my wrist, sometimes on the arm itself, sometimes on the shoulder. When I turn around my neck, I feel pain as well. Headache is on and off. I thought all my pains are mostly located on my right side and only when right side is affected, I would feel pain. Then yesterday, something weird happened.
Avatar n tn I have neck and shoulder pain 24/7 for about 1 year now,frequent headaches and constant stabbing pain in my right arm pit,my upper right arm and shoulder has skin numbness that feels like needle pricks when touched.I have been to a company sponsored clinic and am seeing therapists 2 to 3 times per week,I have been tested for nerve irregularities and told nothing showed up.
Avatar m tn If I use my laptop or sleep in a wrong position, my neck hurts and the pain radiates down to the hand. My neck and arm will burn which radiates down to the fingers. It will sometimes hurt to the bone. I can't use my right arm, fingers, and wrist like I can my left side. I can't turn my right arm and wrist over. My right side is smaller and shorter than my left...which resulted in scoliosis. I didn't read your entire post and I hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Pain in the shoulder in the front aspect along with arm pain in the front region (known as anterior shoulder pain) can be due to rotator cuff injury, injury to labrum, arthritis, bicep tendon injury, shoulder dislocation, thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), pinched spinal nerves in the cervical spine, fracture of the upper arm bone etc. You need to be examined by an orthopedic specialist and may need X-ray and MRI of the shoulder joint, cervical spine etc for confirmed diagnosis.
